To ask when is International Men’s day

again!?
8 March is International Women’s Day, it is also a day when comedian Richard Herring replies to all the idiots on twitter who ask when International Men’s day is going to be...
He’s already started to send the first few “it’s on the 19 of November” tweets and like last year, he’s set up a gofundme for donations for Refuge.
IIRC mumsnetters were fairly supportive of this last year so I thought I’d give you the heads up in case you fancy donating to a good cause

Every day 🙄

UrsulaPandress · 02/03/2019 21:52

I'll pop the date in my calendar.

I made the mistake if making a Facebook post (public) on November 19, about how toxic masculinity affects men's mental health....I got called a cunt and was threatened.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 02/03/2019 21:55

RH tends to irritate me, but this is an amazing piece of work he does every year. The Refuge fundraiser last year was incredible.

Dimsumlosesum · 02/03/2019 21:56

Everyday is Men's Day.

Fiveredbricks · 02/03/2019 21:57

Every. Fucking. Day.

Cheeeeislifenow · 02/03/2019 21:58

Sorry my point is not entirely relevant but it's the only lasting memory of International Men's day I have.

elQuintoConyo · 02/03/2019 21:59

Come the fuck on! It's every fucking day!

Hmm
Redshoeblueshoe · 02/03/2019 22:00

Yep it's every fucking day

SwearyInn · 02/03/2019 22:02

I think you need this calendar OP.

Top right.

If you fancy donating to Refuge and supporting Richard in repeatedly tweeting “it’s on November 19th” all day on 8th March

I’m sorry I’m a bit pissed and didn’t read your OP properly.

I’ll send myself to the room of RTFT fuckwits.

We’ve had RTFT. Can we now have RTFOP?

Whisky2014 · 02/03/2019 22:08

What's the point in these days? First time I've heard of them Confused

Catinthetwat · 02/03/2019 22:08

Thanks op! Yep love RH doing this every year.

AlrightTreacle · 02/03/2019 22:08

£150,454 raised so far! Never heard of Richard Herring before, but good going!

SwearyInn · 02/03/2019 22:13

I’m glad you like it OP. It always amuses me - and it’s so true.

I’ve just donated. So at least my not RTFT had a positive outcome Smile

The just giving one was from when he did it last year, still seems to accept donations I guess, the gofundme for this year has started raising about £1,500

I love Richard Herring solely for a) This Morning with Lee and Herring; and b) his tweetathon every IWD

Cheeeeeis I’m sorry you got a public bashing for posting.
And as we all know women get so much stick and abuse on the likes of FB and Twitter, so I think Richard challenging the (male) moaners is a good thing, plus it’s raising money for Refuge who work with women and girls.

Vicky1990 · 02/03/2019 22:38

What is the Refuge that has been mentione?.

NoImAVeronica · 02/03/2019 22:38

Love RH for this, thanks for the heads up. Donated.

JazzyBBG · 02/03/2019 23:08
